Product Information

Full details

This Regatta ADA Stretch Softshell Jacket in Black is designed for adult women seeking comfortable, protective, and flexible workwear. Its key benefit is unrestricted movement due to 4-way stretch combined with water-repellent properties. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it may not be fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rain. The jacket offers technical workwear features, including durable water-repellent fabric, three zipped pockets, a grown-on hood with adjusters, and reflective details for visibility. It is also made using recycled materials, aligning with sustainability efforts.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light rain and splashes. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash it at 40°C on a normal cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high heat drying.

How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?

The DWR finish can be maintained by re-applying a DWR treatment after several washes. Ensure the jacket is clean before application and follow the instructions on the DWR product.

What is the benefit of the 4-way stretch fabric?

The 4-way stretch fabric allows for unrestricted movement in all directions, providing comfort and flexibility during physical tasks.

Are the reflective details durable?

The reflective details are designed for durability, but their longevity depends on proper care. Avoid high heat ironing and tumble drying, which can damage them.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is crafted from a 2-layer softshell fabric, made from polyester, and incorporates recycled materials.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. It does feature adjusters for a customized fit.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The DWR finish may need reapplication. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following its specific guidelines.

Reflective details are peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat drying and ironing, as this can damage reflective elements. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to reattach; it may compromise function. Ensure future washing and drying follow care instructions closely.

Jacket feels cold in very low temperatures.

This jacket is designed for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece. For colder conditions, add a thermal base layer and an insulating mid-layer underneath the softshell jacket.
